I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 293, Infinite Granary
On a fine day with fine weather and gentle wind, hundreds of people on the Tianjin pier stared at a small fishing boat.

The story of Xu Wei making fishing boats out of cement and steel quickly spread throughout Tianjin Port.

This caused a huge commotion in the entire Tianjin Port. Things like concrete and steel bars don’t look like they can float on the water. Most people think that this cement boat will sink when it hits the water, but there are still a small number of people. He felt that they, Qu Shuai, were omnipotent. Qu Shuai said that if a cement boat can float on the water, it must be able to float on the water surface, so these tribes were divided into two factions to argue endlessly!
Now that the cement boat is dry, it's time to launch it. Whether it floats or not, everyone will know the result immediately, so many people want to know the result as soon as possible, and they gather on the pier to watch.

"Feng Xiao, can this thing made of steel and cement really float on the water?" Xi Zhongchi asked.

"Shouldn't it?" Guo Jia was not sure. Cement dries like a stone. It can be said that it is a kind of stone that can change shape. No matter how you look at it, stones and steel bars don't look like things that can float. They really want to float , that is simply against the laws of heaven.

But Lei Gong is not an ordinary person. He really might have some secret method to make stones and steel bars float on the water, so Guo Jia dare not say for sure.

Guo Jia and Guo Jia were in Bingzhou to observe the situation of the Tengjia Army governing Bingzhou. They happened to encounter the mobilization order of Taiyuan County. Taiyuan County, which was originally a bustling and prosperous county, instantly turned into a large military camp.

People pouring in from all directions quickly filled the barracks in Taiyuan County. It took less than three days for the Tengjia Army to recruit 10 troops. Moreover, the people were delighted when they heard the battle. Seeing such a shocking scene , The two discovered that the Tengjia Army was a country of farming and warfare, and it was completely an enhanced version of the Great Qin Dynasty.

At this time, the two of them finally understood why the Tengjia Army could mobilize more than 50 troops with a population of only 10 million. Even when Dong Zhuo attacked Taiyuan County, they could mobilize 50 troops in a few days. The Tengjia Army was basically composed of one army. power! An army of [-] is probably not the limit of the Rattan Armor Army. If there is sufficient food and grass, Lei Gong may not be difficult to recruit an army of one million!

After the battle in Youzhou ended, the two of them felt that there was no force in the world that could resist Lei Gong. Even the imperial court's 50 troops could not defeat Lei Gong. After this defeat, the imperial court might not be able to continue to attack Lei Gong.

They knew that the imperial court could organize an army of 50 this time, relying on the merchant class who had massacred the entire Han Dynasty. Now it is impossible for the Han Dynasty to recruit another 50 troops. Instead, they must guard against Lei Gong's attack. has been reversed.

After discussing, the two felt that Lei Gong might be the real dragon in this troubled world, so they planned to join Lei Gong.

But before they left Bingzhou, they heard that Leigong ordered his subordinates to massacre the powerful families in Youzhou, and even the families who bought bonds from Leigong were hardly spared.

Their fields were divided, their food was confiscated, and their property was confiscated.Only the bonds purchased by these families, Lei Gong, did not move. Instead, he did something that surprised them. Lei Gong bought these bonds with money from the properties confiscated by the powerful and noble families.The rich and powerful families in Youzhou only have the property to buy bonds, and of course there is an invisible preferential treatment, they don’t have to be sent to islands to be slaves to miners!
After Guo Jia heard these things, he sneered: "Lei Gong doesn't have to worry about his bonds being sold. From now on, for the rich and powerful families of the big man, the land and property are not as safe as Lei Gong's bonds, even if it is to save their lives. The aristocratic families in other parts of the Han Dynasty will also buy Lei Gong’s bonds and come up with such a way to make money. Lei Gong’s essence as a businessman is several levels higher than that of the late emperor!”

Lei Gong's actions made Guo Jia understand that he just wanted to wipe out the upper echelons of the big man and replace him with his confidants to rule the big man. There was no room for compromise between the two sides.

Even Lei Gong doesn't need them to seek refuge. After all, Lei Gong has already occupied the land of the two states of Dahan. He did not accept the support of any powerful or even humble family, which showed that Lei Gong had no intention of accepting them at all, he just wanted to wipe out the powerful and powerful families of the big man.Even a poor family like him is probably within the scope of Lei Gong's extermination.Although his family is poor, but his family is a big man's jurisprudence giant, and it is the target of Lei Gong's extermination.

So he let go of the idea of ​​joining Lei Gong, I want to observe Lei Gong's executive strategy, and see what can be transferred to the big man to improve the strength of the big man!
Xi Zhong, on the other hand, doesn't take this kind of thing seriously. Now it's a transformation, and Lei Gong must replace his own people to rule the world. The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms during the Warring States period all declined, and now the powerful clans of the Han Dynasty have declined. What!This can only be regarded as the cycle of heaven, there is no dynasty that never falls, and naturally there is no family that never falls.

Xizhong is the real poor family of the big man. When he was a child, he was quick-witted and quick at reading and writing, so he made an exception and was accepted by Xun Shuang, the head of Yingchuan Academy, and his family's 30 acres of land were all sold off in order to study.Now if you take refuge in Lei Gong, you might still get [-] acres of land. After all, he earns it, and he doesn’t have any family. I even died early because I provided him with education. He is not afraid of Lei Gong’s policies as a bachelor.

Not long after, more than 10 workers from the cement factory lifted the cement boat together and slowly placed it on the water!

At this time, something that surprised everyone happened, the cement boat really floated on the water.

Xi Zhong was surprised and said, "Am I not mistaken, the cement boat really floats on the water?"

Guo Jia also lost his mind and said: "That's right! It really floats on the water!"

The common people even knelt on the ground and shouted: "This is an immortal technique! Qu Shuai is performing an immortal technique!"

"Everyone, get up quickly, it's not a magic trick at all!" Xu Wei also knew the debate among the people around him, and felt that this was a good opportunity to popularize science, so he smiled and said to everyone: "I have heard all the debates you have these days, Whether something can float depends not on its material, but on its density. Anything with a lower density than water can float. The reason why a stone cannot float is because its density is higher than water, so It will sink as soon as it reaches the water, and the reason why wood can float on the water is because the density of wood is lower than that of water, but the density can be changed, and it is impossible for a square stone to float , If you hollow out the middle of the stone, just like this cement ship, because there is nothing in the middle, the density of the cement ship will naturally be low, and when the density of the cement ship drips water, the cement ship will naturally float!"

After Guo Jia and Xi Zhong finished playing, they suddenly realized that this is the case. They can understand the concept of density. The density of iron is higher than that of stone, and the density of stone is higher than that of water. They can draw such a conclusion in their daily life. It's just that they are difficult to formulate systematically.

The people around were still in a daze after listening to it for a long time, as if they were listening to a scripture from heaven.

In the end, Xu Wei could only say: "Everyone has a water bottle. Can an empty water bottle float on the water? The principle of this boat is the same as that of a water bottle!"

Xu Wei used a real kettle as an example, and everyone finally understood!Think of the kettle as a boat of a special shape. If the kettle can float on the water, the boat can also float on the water.

This simple cement boat has about 500 materials. After launching, 10 fishermen brought fishing nets to the boat, and then they paddled their boats to the Quanzhou fishing ground. , The fishermen caught more than a dozen nets, and soon returned with a full load, and returned to Tianjin Wharf!

"There are more than 300 stone sea fish!" The cement fishing boat that came back caused a sensation among everyone. They can see such harvests almost every day, but Tianjin lacks fishing boats. The dozen or so small fishing boats catch thousands of sea fish at most every day. If the fish had to be ripped open, at most only [-]% to [-]% could be used, so the harvest was not huge, but now this fishing boat alone is almost equivalent to the previous four or five fishing boats!

The most important thing is that such a cement boat that is 5 times bigger, but it took only three days to build such a large fishing boat, which is what they watched with their own eyes, and it took a month or two to build a wooden boat. The fishing boats are too fast, there will be no shortage of fishing boats here in the future, and the fishing industry in Tianjin will explode!

And these people guessed rightly, the cement fishing boat experiment was successful, Xu Wei started to build the second batch of cement fishing boats, this time not only started construction of ten boats at the same time, but also expanded the number of fishing boats into a large fishing boat with 2 materials!

At the same time, Xu Wei also set up a deep-sea fishing company to recruit fishermen along the coast of Quanzhou and even the entire Youzhou.

Three days later, the cement boat was dry, and 10 large cement fishing boats went out to sea at the same time, catching seven or eight thousand shi of sea fish in one day, which caused a sensation in the whole Tianjin Town, and the sea fish industry chain in Tianjin Town finally started slowly.

Seeing this scene, Xi Zhong smiled and said: "It seems that the Tengjia Army has blocked even the only shortcoming. If there is no accident, the world must belong to Lei Gong!"

Guo Jia was also speechless. He couldn't imagine that the ocean would be an incomparably huge granary. Not to mention that Tianjin's fishery continued to increase production. With the current output alone, the Tengjia Army can catch more than 200 fish from the ocean every year. Wanshi's sea fish is equivalent to millions of shi's more food for the Tengjia Army.

And he is even more aware that the combat effectiveness of meat-eating soldiers and vegetarian soldiers is completely different. As far as the output of Tianjin sea fish is concerned, it can fully meet the meat-eating needs of the soldiers of the Rattan Armor Army. By then, their combat effectiveness will be even stronger. Big man It is even more difficult to resist the attack of the rattan armor army!
